Nursing program addresses healthcare concerns
by Carmela Amador
The choice between groceries and health insurance payments is common for students and resi¬ dents in the Tacoma community.
By advocating for family comprehensive healthcare cover¬ age, students can upgrade from Top Ramen to improve their quality of life and advocate for the healthcare of their fellow Tacomans.
Addressing the evolving problem of the uninsured is a panel of professionals who not only do something about the problem, but also increase public awareness.
The Nursing program has invited Rep. Judy Clibbom, Rep. Eileen Cody, Sen. Rosa Franklin and Rep. Dawn Morrell, a UWT BSN alunmi, to speak to students on behalf of the key issues surrounding health care.
"They will be talking about health programs that are state- based," said Dr. Janet Primomo,
associate professor in the UWT Nursing program, RN, PhD.
Covering the costs of health¬ care has become a luxury in many American families, result¬ ing in rising numbers of the uninsured who seek help with the Basic Health program of Washington State. Those that

meet the qualifications are placed on the 35,000 person waiting list for a healthcare plan that is funded by the smokers in Washington State. State-based programs like Basic Health and the Children's Health Insurance Plan provide basic health insur¬ ance for residents of Washington
State, yet are fiinded with the extra 60 cents per pack from cig¬ arettes after 1-773.
Washington state residents have to contact their state repre¬ sentatives to voice their concerns surrounding healthcare. The UWT Nursing program is bring¬ ing that opportunity to students
during National Nurses
Week.
"Students need to think about advocating for their own quality of life," said ASUWT ad hoc health care conmiittee chair Sen. Karen Furuya. "Students could lose the security they have eamed in col¬ lege by getting sick and leaving school to pay for medical bills."
Lack of access to healthcare is a well-known burden on the UWT campus. By talking to state representatives students can also leam about issues that face other members of the conununi¬ ty.

celthrativs^Q ou.r ciders
by Carl Newhouse
The most influential elder in my community was Mrs. Mozella Marks, my grandmother. She willingly functioned as mother, grandmother, and true friend to all that lived in our neighbor¬ hood.
The location she served in was South Central Los Angeles, Califomia. This is an area where the lack of positive role models, heroes, and heroines obviously impacted the youth and young adults. In this forgotten land, over a period of 35 years, single- teenage parenting, violence, crime, and the number of juvenile delinquent inmates increased
exponentially.
Nevertheless, in the midst of the abandonment and turmoil, Mozella selflessly ministered to the needs of all that crossed her path, expected nothing in retum, and thereby honestly earned the meritorious medal and title of "elder".
The term elder has an ambigu¬ ous meaning to me. The first def¬ inition in the dictionary refers to aged individuals, while the sec¬ ond definition denotes the whole¬ some character of a person. Nana, as I called her, fulfilled both definitions—she lived 72 years, and was a woman of impeccable character. She was a graceful, unique lady who loved
when she wasn't loved back, and gave when there was nothing to receive. Her com¬ mendable values were evident in her philosophy: she felt that it was unfair to judge individuals from their past behavior, because human beings are capable of changing. And she believed that

Wkat's new at tke library this spring?
by Anna Salyer
The library staff has been very busy reorganizing, moving offices, staff, and equipment.
As a result, there are now two group study rooms upstairs at the South end of the Library. The study rooms will comfortably accommodate six students. Sign¬ up sheets are posted on the doors.
Been looking for a place that you can comfortably watch the videos assigned for your course- work? In LIB 239 (the old Media Lab), you can now view DVDs and VHS tapes on the 27" screens
on one of four new Panasonic DVDA^CR/TV Combo Units.
Media Services has graciously loaned the Library these units and will maintain them as well. Many thanks to the Media Services.
Policies for use are on the door of the room and include: \iewing terminals are available first-come, first-serve to all UW Tacoma students. Headphones must be used while watching a video, (ask at the Circulation Desk for a pair).
Viewing videos related to UW Tacoma courseworic takes prece¬
dent over other uses.
Did you ever get caught wait¬ ing for the printer in the Library to grind out someone else's PDF article or large numbers of e- reserves? Wait no more. Copy Services recently installed a sec¬ ond print station and we are happy to say we have not seen anyone having to wait since. As a reminder, these print stations only print with a Quick Copy card which can be purchased in the Library for $5. The Library does not have change so make sure you have $5 or $1 bills, especially at night after 8 p.m.
and on the weekends when the Copy Center is closed.
Have you noticed the big sil¬ ver box outside the Mattress Factory? It's our new book retum and is conveniently locat¬ ed so you can drive-by-and-drop. Remember though, that reserve materials are time-sensitive returns and must be handed to a Staff member at the Circulation Desk. Interlibrary loan books and videos must also be returned to the Circulation Desk.
